A misfiring engine will cause, low gas mileage, low power output, increased emissions and possible internal engine damage if left untreated. Typically an engine misfire under load, will be a problem with the ignition system, while low engine speed problems will be a vacuum, fuel management or compression issue.
Coral colonies grow through a form of asexual reproduction known as budding, in which polyps divide themselves to form new polyps . Corals can also reproduce sexually by spawning, which in Platygyra daedalea involves the release of gametes into the water, for external fertilisation. Platygyra daedalea is hermaphroditic, meaning that each polyp produces both eggs and sperm.
Colonies release huge numbers of eggs and sperm that are often glued into bundles (one bundle per polyp) that float towards the surface. Spawning often occurs just once a year and in some places is synchronized for all individuals of the same species in an area. This type of mass spawning usually occurs at night and is quite a spectacle. Some corals brood their eggs in the body of the polyp and release sperm into the water. As the sperm sink, polyps containing eggs take them in and fertilization occurs inside the body (internal fertilization).
